Ina Loewenberg has lived in Iowa City for more than 36 years. In addition to her most recent career as a photographer, she has been an internal auditor at The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, a tax preparer for H & R Block, and a philosophy teacher at Coe College.

Ina began making photographs when she was 55 years old and states that she "was essentially self-taught but [received] significant help and guidance from more proficient friends." Since she began making work, Ina Loewenberg has shown regularly throughout the region. She specializes in three different subject areas: portraits, including self-portraits, still lifes, and documentation of construction projects, of which this photograph is an example.
